A Prayer for Owen Meany: A Novel
by John IrvingI am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice-not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother's death, but because he is the reason I believe in God; I am a Christian because of Owen Meany. <P><P> In the summer of 1953, two eleven-year-old boys-best friends-are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary.

Pre-Algebra
by Ron Larson Laurie Boswell Timothy Kanold Lee StiffMcDougal Littell Pre-Algebra will give you a strong foundation in algebra while also preparing you for future study of geometry, probability, and data analysis. The clearly written lessons make even difficult math concepts and methods understandable by providing numerous stepped-out examples. Each lesson's exercise set includes a wide variety of exercises, ranging from basic exercises that help you develop and practice skills to challenging exercises that involve logical reasoning and problem solving. This book will also help you become better at taking notes and taking tests. Look for a notetaking strategy at the beginning of each chapter as well as helpful marginal notes throughout each chapter. The marginal notes give you support in keeping a notebook, studying math, reading algebra and geometry, doing homework, using technology, and reviewing for tests. Also look for instruction and practice that prepare you for taking standardized tests with questions in multiple choice, short response, and extended response formats. In all these ways--and many more--McDougal Littell Pre-Algebra puts you on the road to success in mathematics.

Pre-Raphaelite Poetry: An Anthology (Dover Thrift Editions: Poetry)
by Dover Thrift EditionsThis outstanding anthology presents the most inspired verse of the the Pre-Raphaelite movement — a treasury of poems that resounds with a lush musicality of language. The poetry of Dante Gabriel Rossetti crowns this collection: highlights include "The Blessed Damozel," "My Sister's Sleep," and selections from The House of Life. Christina Rossetti is amply represented by "Remember," "Cousin Kate," "Song," "The Convent Threshold," and other memorable poems. Algernon Charles Swinburne's "The Garden of Proserpine" and William Morris' "The Haystack in the Floods" appear here, along with George Meredith's "Lucifer by Starlight" and selections from Modern Love.
Preacher's Boy
by Katherine PatersonIt's 1899 in a small town in Vermont, and the turn of the century is coming fast. According to certain members of the church where Robbie's father is the preacher, the end of the century might even mean the end of the world. But Robbie has more pressing worries. He's sure his father loves his simple-minded brother, Elliot, better than him, and he can no longer endure the tiresome restrictions of Christianity. He decides to leave the fold and become an "apeist" and, just in case the church whisperers are right, resolves to live life to the fullest. His high-spirited and often hot-headed behavior does nothing to improve his father's opinion of him, nor does it improve the congregation's flagging opinion of his father. Not until the consequences of his actions hurt others does Robbie put a stop to the snowballing chain of events he has set off and begin to realize his father might love him despite his wayward tendencies. Katherine Paterson is the recipient of the 2013 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award.
Prealgebra And Introductory Algebra
by Hawkes Learning SystemsThe purpose of Prealgebra and Introductory Algebra is to provide students with a review of basic arithmetic, an introduction to algebra, and a learning tool that will help them: 1. review basic arithmetic skills, 2. develop reasoning and problem-solving skills, 3. become familiar with algebraic notation, 4. understand the connections between arithmetic and algebra, 5. develop basic algebra skills, 6. provide a smooth transition from arithmetic through prealgebra to algebra, and 7. achieve satisfaction in learning so that they will be encouraged to continue their education in mathematics.

by Julie MillerParamount to the development of Precalculus was the invaluable feedback provided by the teachers from around the country who reviewed the manuscript or attended a market development event over the course of the several years the text was in development.
Precalculus: Mathematics for Calculus
by James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem WatsonThis best selling author team explains concepts simply and clearly, without glossing over difficult points. Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, providing students with a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. Comprehensive and evenly paced, the book provides complete coverage of the function concept, and integrates a significant amount of graphing calculator material to help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. The authors' attention to detail and clarity, the same as found in James Stewart's market-leading Calculus text, is what makes this text the market leader.
Precalculus: Mathematics for Calculus
by James Stewart Lothar Redlin Saleem WatsonStewart (McMaster University) provides a text/CD-ROM package for students preparing to study calculus. The main change in this fifth edition is an expanded emphasis on modeling and applications. In each section, applications exercises have been expanded and grouped together, and each chapter now ends with a focus on modeling. The chapter on analytic trigonometry has been divided into two chapters, and new discovery projects, mathematical vignettes, and exercises have been included. Chapter overviews are also new. The CD-ROM contains video instruction on text topics. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
